Hitched
Hitched has won 9 races from 49 starts, which is a respectable win rate of roughly one win in every five races, but the pattern of those wins tells a more interesting story than the headline figure suggests. The six-year-old has not crossed the line first in its last six races, and it is now nine months since its last victory at Wolverhampton on 30 January. That said, Hitched remains active — it raced just a day ago — and there are clear strengths to build on.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse performs noticeably better at distances between a mile and three furlongs and a mile and four furlongs, where it has won 2 of 7 races (29% win rate). More striking still is its dominance at Lingfield Park. Hitched has won 4 of its 14 races at that track, giving it a genuine course specialty that sets it apart from what the overall figures suggest. When Luke Morris is in the saddle, the partnership clicks: together they have won 6 of 20 races (30% win rate), well above the horse's average. David Simcock's Newmarket yard has been in fine form this season with 39 winners, and they have the knowledge to place Hitched where it can win again.
The main concern is the recent dry spell at Class 4 level, where Hitched has managed only 2 wins from 24 races (8% win rate) — a far cry from its strength at Lingfield. A return to that track with Morris up and at a distance that suits would give the horse its best chance of ending the nine-month wait for the winner's enclosure.
